Chris Brown was arrested last night after his concert in West Palm Beach, Florida, for an outstanding felony battery charge, CBS reports. He was booked and released on $2,000 bond, according to county records viewed by Pitchfork. According to TMZ, the arrest relates to an alleged attack at a Tampa nightclub from 2017. Pitchfork has reached out to local police and Brown’s representatives for further comment.

Brown has been the subject of multiple assault charges in recent years, including a 2016 charge of assault with a deadly weapon involving former beauty queen Baylee Curran. (He denied the charge.) He was recently sued by a woman who claims she was raped multiple times at his house. In 2009, he was charged with felony assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna, and remained on probation until 2015.
